A couple questions out of pure curiosity. Working on the assumption that you are going to be adding more drives to your server, why not just add the new drives to the Supermicro controller and keep the existing pool (well vdev) where it is? Reading your blog, it seems that you need one (or two

[zfs-discuss] two pools on boot disk?

I have a small system that is going to be a file server. It has two disks. I'd like just one pool for data. Is it possible to create two pools on the boot disk, and then add the second disk to the second pool? The result would be a single small pool for root, and a second pool containing the

Thank you ! This is exactly what I was looking for and although this is zfs (not a Windows FAT) the time it takes to create a new pool (instantaneous) means all data is still there and only the table of contents was maybe erased. as unix directories are files, I suspect even the old structure

Neil, Thanks. That makes sense. May be man page for zpool can say that it is a rate as iostat man page does. I think reads are from the zpool iostat command itself. zpool iostat doesn't capture that. Thanks -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
